Oil on Panel 5 x 7 inches

These roses are from the same bush as yesterday's painting - a different colour harmony this time.

I think the is the closest I've got so far to my idea of how the flake white can be made to represent rose petals without actually drawing them. I'm not sure how t describe this, but the paint does seem to lend itself to this. If I can get close with the first brush stroke and then leave it pretty much alone, just tweak a little, the effect can be very different from drawing - even if it doesn't look exactly like the subject!

This painting is on an acrylic gessoed hardboard panel.

Starting bid is $100

Payment is by PayPal - (although you can pay through PayPal with a credit card without having to set up an account, if you don’t have one).

How to bid

Just click the "bid here" link above and enter your name, email (this will be kept private) and the amount you want to bid.

The auction uses proxy bidding, which means you can set a Maximum Bid, and until that's reached, you're protected from being outbid. So if Bidder A places a Maximum Bid of $200 and Bidder B comes along to try and outbid A, A will be protected till B outbids A over $200.

You’ll be notified of any other bids and whether you’ve won the auction by email automatically. If you win the auction, I’ll send you an email with a link to pay by PayPal.

PLEASE NOTE: As the auction comes to a close, you’ll need to refresh the page to see the latest bids. It may look as if you’ve won when the countdown finishes, but you’ll only see the most recent bids if you refresh the page, so there may have been more bids that you’re not seeing!

Shipping

International shipping is by UK Royal Mail International (tracked) and can take a few days to get to you. I'll let you know by email as soon as I send the painting, and give you the tracking number. I’ll need to allow some time for the painting to dry thoroughly before I send it to you. That’s usually a minimum of two weeks but can be more, depending on the painting.

Returns:

If for any reason reason you’re not happy with your painting, you can return it to me within 14 days for a full refund. I’ll pay the return shipping.

If payment isn’t made within three days of purchase, the painting will be offered to the next highest bidder or re-auctioned.
